Join me on this 3-day training camp to prepare for the Pierra Menta Ete trail run and you will not regret it, as we give you the ideal preparation in perfect conditions near the outdoor activity mecca of Areches-Beaufort, where trail running and similar activities are at the heart of many conversations!
The Pierra Menta is a world-famous race on the trail running calendar, attracting trail running devotees and enthusiasts from around the world every year. It is located near the gorgeous and exquisite village of Areches-Beaufort, often overshadowed by its more illustrious neighbor Chamonix, and sitting in the shadows of the towering and majestic Mont Blanc.
We meet at our hotel on the first day, where we will go through what is expected over the three days of training.
We then begin by completing a training run of the first stage of the race, in the Roche Parstire section, before retiring to the hotel in the evening where we get to chat to members of the race organization.
The second and third days are much the same, as we tackle some of the more challenging aspects of the course such as the mythical Grand Mont, as well as segments composed of air passages and technical singles.
This is the ideal preparation for the race, as you will be tracing the exact course, thus allowing you to get an idea of the conditions and paths expected.
We will be pushing you to your physical limits, whilst at the same time improving your technique and making sure we are still able to take in all the stunning scenery around us such as pretty forests and marvelous views.
We finish after 3 days, hopefully weary yet excited by the prospect of having improved your trail running!
This trip is the perfect preparation for your trail running race – book now to experience!
